When you monitor the audio through your daw software you will be able to record and monitor the input audio in stereo, with the direct monitor off. When you use the direct monitor feature on the 2i2, your input signals will be summed to mono through both the the headphone and monitor outputs.

Your explanation is a worded a little differently from the one I received from Will Kent in tech support which fits my experience exactly. If you experience more problem's or i haven't be clear enough. Channel 1 will be on the left and channel 2 on the right. The softmixer is now set as stereo input. Go to the interface softmix and select the button with the 2 circles next to the 2 pfl buttons of channel 1 and 2. The softmixer standard is set to mono and your incoming signal of the left input gets a panpot with is set center and thus will be heard over both left and right speaker. When channel one reaches the daw it will be automatically on the left if you havr selected a stereo track. When channel one reaches the daw it will be mono with a panpot if you have selected a mono track. Interfaces are just banks with mono preamps connected to stereo dacs as followed

I thought it might be something to do with how the computer is set up so I tried disabling both in and out computer drivers and it makes no difference.ĭoes the 2i2 combine the L and R inputs or is there another reason? It sounds great when I listen with phones directly plugged into the piano or connect the piano directly to the speakers.

I know from previous experience that what I am hearing is the L and R piano stereo signals being combined to mono. I am using 1/4" TS connectors but using TRS is the same. It is the same whether I listen through the speakers or through phones plugged into the 2i2. I have also tried connecting the L and R audio out connections from my Yamaha CP4 keyboard to the front two connections on the 2i2 and the usual great Yamaha stereo pianos sound terrible. I am using Band In A Box on my laptop and the 2i2 works great with the computer sound going to two powered speakers via the rear line out connections. I want to use my new 2i2 basically as an external sound card.
